|---|---|
Can I delete a care plan that is sent via HL7? | No, but you can send in another version, matching on TXA-12.1, that removes the information previously sent. Those previous versions will always be visible in the PKB GUI. |
How do I update a care plan that I’ve previously sent in? | Send in another message, using the same TXA-12.1 care plan id. When PKB matches on that id, the existing care plan is replaced in its entirety with the values provided in the new message. A partial update is not performed. The previous Care Plan is retained as an older version and can be viewed in the UI. |
How is the title of the care plan specified in the message? | The name specified in OBX-3.2 is used as the care plan name. The name can change from one version to the next. |
What format can care plans be sent as? | Either HTML or PDF is accepted. HTML is preferred because patients have a better viewing experience in PKB’s UI when viewing on a mobile device. |
Can care plans sent in via HL7 be edited in PKB’s UI? | The Red, Amber, and Green sections of the plan are editable, but the Action plan part is not. |
Can a care plan have a specialty other than General Health? | Yes, by including a Hospital Service code in PV1-10 the care plan can be mapped to the applicable privacy label per specialty. |
Can measurements, lab results, or symptoms be pulled into plans sent via HL7? | No, these are only available to be added to plans that are created via a template in PKB’s UI. |
How do I make sure that my MDM^T02 message is recognised as a Care Plan and not a Document? | You must always use the document type CP in the TXA-2.1 field. This means the system will recognise that the message contains a Care Plan, rather than a document. |
If I send a PDF Care Plan, will a preview be visible to the patient in the PKB GUI? | Yes. A preview will always be available to the patient (the TXA-16.1 ‘Filename’ field is not required for Care plans, like it is for Documents). |
Can a trust trigger the use or provision of a Care Plan template on PKB via API from a trigger in their PAS | No, there is no current API that will enable you to trigger the sending or providing of a CP via API. Our HL7 APIs allow you to send in a Care Plan (for example as a PDF or HTML) which will be “read only” in our UI. With the “edit” capability for patients to complete the Green, Amber, Red textual boxes. |
